CANTUS: There's a Meeting Here Tonight by Bob Gibson

Installment number five from Cantus’ COVID-19 Sessions recorded live on March 17, 19, and 20.
One of the things we treasure the most about ensemble singing - and singing with Cantus specifically - is the incredibly strong bonds of community that are built in interpreting and performing music together.
Bob Gibson’s “There’s a Meeting Here Tonight”, made popular by the gospel duo Joe and Eddie, is one of our absolute favorite expressions of the joy of singing together.
During this time of quarantine and shelter-in-place throughout the world, this may be one of the things that we are missing the most - being able to make music together.
Until we can all meet in person once again, don’t be afraid to sing-along at home!
----
There is a meeting here tonight!
Well there’s a meeting here tonight,
There’s a meeting here tonight,
I can tell by your friendly face
there’s a meeting here tonight.
Well I went down in the valley one day,
met old Satan on my way.
What do you reckon old Satan did say?
He said, “Turn back, young man
You’re too young to pray.”
Satan got mad and I am glad,
Lost a soul he thought he had.
Satan is a liar and a conjuror too,
You better watch out brother he’ll conjure you.
Well there’s a meeting here tonight,
There’s a meeting here tonight,
I can tell by your friendly face
there’s a meeting here tonight.

Men releasing their voices in harmony with each other.
Beautiful.

I love this! Dave and Eddie recorded this arrangement in the ‘Sixties, as, of course, did the Limeliters

[@Skywalker567]

Good job! I strongly recommend the Joe and Eddie version from the 1960s

About the only good thing about the pandemic has been the regular new content from Cantus! Thanks, guys. Wonderful stuff, saw you many times back when I lived in MN.

I hope the Covid-19 Sessions will be released as a CD down the road! Magnificent!
